Transformers Page #3

Synopsis: A long time ago, far away on the planet of Cybertron, a war is being waged between the noble Autobots (led by the wise Optimus Prime) and the devious Decepticons (commanded by the dreaded Megatron) for control over the Allspark, a mystical talisman that would grant unlimited power to whoever possesses it. The Autobots managed to smuggle the Allspark off the planet, but Megatron blasts off in search of it. He eventually tracks it to the planet of Earth (circa 1850), but his reckless desire for power sends him right into the Arctic Ocean, and the sheer cold forces him into a paralyzed state. His body is later found by Captain Archibald Witwicky, but before going into a comatose state Megatron uses the last of his energy to engrave into the Captain's glasses a map showing the location of the Allspark, and to send a transmission to Cybertron. Megatron is then carried away aboard the Captain's ship. A century later, Captain Witwicky's grandson Sam Witwicky (nicknamed Spike by his friends) b

I tell you, man, she deaf, you know?

Well, over here, every piece of car

a man might want or need.

This ain't bad.

- This one's got racing stripes.

- Yeah.

It got racing...

Yeah, what's this?

What the heck is this?

I don't know nothing about this car.

- Manny!

- What?

What is this? This car! Check it out!

I don't know, boss! I've never seen it!

That's loco!

Don't go Ricky Ricardo on me, Manny!

Find out!

Feels good.

- How much?

- Well,

considering the semi-classic nature

of the vehicle,

with the slick wheels

and the custom paint job...

- Yeah, but the paint's faded.

- Yeah, but it's custom.

It's custom faded?

Well, this is your first car.

I wouldn't expect you to understand.

- Five grand.

- No, I'm not paying over four. Sorry.

Kid, come on, get out. Get out the car.

No, no, no.

You said cars pick their drivers.

Well, sometimes they pick a driver

with a cheap-ass father. Out the car.

Now, this one here

for four Gs is a beaut.

There's a Fiesta with racing stripes

over there.

No, I don't want a Fiesta

with racing stripes.

This is a classic engine right here.

I sold a car the other day...

Gee. Holy cow.

- No, no, no. No worries.

- You all right?

I'll get a sledgehammer and knock

this right out. Hey, hey, Manny!

Get your clown cousin

and get some hammers

and come bang this stuff out, baby!

...greater than man...

That one's my favorite,

drove all the way from Alabammy.

$4,000.

Steve.

Hello, Mr. Secretary.

They're so young.

They're the top

subject matter experts, sir.

NSA's recruiting right out of

high school these days.

Guys, that's the Secretary of Defense.

I am so underdressed.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the Secretary of Defense.

Please be seated.

I'm John Keller.

Obviously, you're wondering

why you're here, so these are the facts.

At 1900 local time yesterday,

the SOCCENT Forward Operations

Base in Qatar was attacked.

So far as we know,

there were no survivors.

The objective of the attack

was to hack our military network.

We're not sure

exactly what they're after,

but we do know that

they were cut off during the assault,

which would lead us to assume

that they're going to try it again.

Now, no one's taken responsibility

for the attack.

And the only real lead we have so far

is this sound.

That's the signal

that hacked our network.

NSA's working at full capacity

to analyze it

and intercept further communications,

but we need your help

to find out who did this.

Now, you've all shown considerable

ability in the area of signals analysis.

We're on a hair-trigger here, people.

The President has dispatched

battle groups

to the Arabian Gulf and Yellow Sea.

This is as real as it's ever gonna get.
